Trash to Treasure- Architecture of the India

Every art teacher loves to find an awesome piece of junk and make it into treasure. Well, well look at what 2 wandering art teachers found on their way to the office….

These heavy cardboard forms held chairs that were shipped to the middle school band room. So we dragged them to our rooms, and made buildings with added decorations inspired by India and Tibet.

2nd graders sponged painted the base color, then 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students added details and designs through out the day. I had to help of course and add the door.

Painted Paper Art

I have been teaching elementary art for 20 years in Ohio. I love my job and watching my 750 students enjoy the process of creating. I love incorporating children's literature with art lessons, and anything to do with fun, colorful art. I am a mom to two lovable kids. I love to see fun projects and mix it up to create a new project. If you do post about a project please reference back to my blog. It is great getting comments and feedback to pass along to my students. Thanks for checking it out!
Enjoy, Laura
